How do the attribute changing syndrome effects work?
« on: April 30, 2012, 06:29:27 am »
Basically, that's all I want to know. What do the "Percentage" parts specify, and what is the "Fixed Boost" part?

I'm talking about CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE and CE_MENT_ATT_CHANGE.

The "Percentage" parts specify a percentage-based or decrease to the target attribute:

[CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE:STRENGTH:120:0:START:0:END:100]

Will boost the target unit's strength by 20% for a turn. If you were to decrease that to 80%, it would lower the target unit's strength by 20%.

The second number refers to a fixed boost--E.G, 1000 would bring a 2000 strength creature to 3000 strength.

Can the boost be negative?

If you mean the fixed one, then I don't know. Try it.

If you mean the percent, just make it less than 100.

According to the wiki, negative numbers work. Of course, who trusts the wiki?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.
